Pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine derivatives 1-5, active as c-Src inhibitors, have been selected to be formulated as drug-loaded human serum albumin (HSA) nanoparticles, with the aim of improving their solubility and pharmacokinetic properties. The present study includes the optimization of a desolvation method-based procedure for preparing HSA nanoparticles. First, characterization by HPLC-MS and Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) showed a good entrapment efficacy, a controllable particle size (between 100 and 200nm) and an optimal stability over time, confirmed by an in vitro drug release assay. Then, 1-4 and the corresponding NPs were tested for their antiproliferative activity against neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cell line. Notably, 3-NPs and 4-NPs were identified as the most promising formulation showing a profitable balance of stability, small size and a similar activity compared to the free drugs in cell-based assays. In addition, albumin formulations increase the solubility of pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine avoiding the use of DMSO as solubilizing agent.
